The frightening growth of bacterial infections and their resistance to most first-line antibiotic drugs have made antibacterial therapy challenging. High accuracy, reduced time and effort, high cost, and a theoretical chemical study to find alternative treatments are preferable considerations. Chemical programs designed 150 fluoroquinolones in a theoretical study, and determined the top five based on their optimal binding affinity. The binding affinity (G) was calculated in Swiss Dock; a more negative G indicates a more suitable binding between the compound and the protein. This study selected the top five fluoroquinolones against each protein. The ΔG calculations indicate compound B has the highest inhibitory activity against Staph
